HC Deb 07 May 1940 vol 360 cc1028-9
28. Colonel Wedgwood

asked the Secretary of State for War whether soldiers who served with Militia battalions throughout the South African war and in the Regular Army during the Great War are eligible for special campaign pensions issued to Regulars who served in South Africa?

Mr. Stanley

The soldiers in question are eligible for consideration for special campaign pensions only if they earned a war medal while enlisted in the Regular Army for the ordinary term of service.
